For steps on designating a project as confidential, see Configure a project, page 143. If your Mobile configuration contains at least one confidential project, the user is required to re-enter valid credentials when the MicroStrategy Mobile application is started, and after the specified period of inactivity. The inactivity period is set to 5 minutes by default. The MicroStrategy Mobile application is considered inactive if it is running in the background, if other applications are running in the foreground, or if the mobile device is locked. When the user brings the MicroStrategy Mobile application back to the foreground after the specified amount of time has elapsed, the user is prompted to enter valid credentials to regain access to the application.

Mobile Design and Administration Guide Administering MicroStrategy Mobile 3 To deploy MicroStrategy Mobile to users’ Android devices, you can send the application as an email attachment to your users. The application is installed when the users download the attachment. Configuring MicroStrategy Mobile for Android Before a user can view reports and documents in MicroStrategy Mobile for Android, the application must be configured to communicate with Mobile Server and Intelligence Server. Manually configuring each device can be time-consuming and difficult. Instead, you can create a configuration, that is, an XML file containing mobile device configuration instructions, in Mobile Server. You can create a URL for a configuration and then post that URL to an HTML page, or email it to users. Mobile users can click the URL to configure their devices. When users open the URL on their mobile devices, the application is automatically configured using the settings in the configuration. A single configuration can configure devices to connect to multiple Mobile Servers. Users can manually connect to any available Mobile Server, if the configuration allows them to configure the application from the mobile device. For instructions on how to configure the application from the mobile device, see Configuring the application from the device, page 157. You can create and save multiple configurations. Each configuration can have its own login credentials, list of projects, and Home screen design. For example, you can create one configuration for regional sales managers, providing access to only those projects that report on sales data. You can then create another configuration for executives, which gives them access to all projects currently in production and also provides a Home screen with buttons for several high-level dashboards. User logins and passwords included with a configuration should be used only for demonstration purposes, as the configuration is not transmitted or stored securely. To create an Android Phone or Android Tablet configuration 1 Access the Mobile Server Administrator page: • In Windows: From the Start menu, point to Programs, then MicroStrategy, then Mobile, then Mobile Server, then select Mobile Administrator.
